All hail the comedian
Apr. 23rd, 2019 11:42 amSo, Colbert has become POTUS. Ehm, I mean... Volodymyr Zelensky has kicked mighty Petro Poroshenko in the arse and knocked him outta his high chair. Sayonara, Choco Boss!
That was a fucking landslide, folks. 73% to 25%. Even the most corrupt clique can't rig that into a win, sorry.
Not a surprise, tho'. Zelensky was smart enough to tap into folks' anger and bitterness after years of Poroshenko rule. He reached deep into various segments of the electorate, thanks to populism skillfully narrated. Now the tough part is at hand: will he keep his high approval ratings, now that he's about to enter the dirty muddy world of real politics? Hmmm.
